Tisza
Where it comes from
From Hungarian Tisza. Known in Latin as Pathissus, Ancient Greek Πάθισσος (Páthissos), perhaps from Thracian–Dacian *patis (“water”), from Proto-Indo-European *póntoh₁s; compare Sanskrit पाथस् (pāthas, “water”), Sanskrit पन्था (pánthā-), Ancient Greek πόντος (póntos, “the sea”). The word may have been reanalyzed by the Slavic tribes as composed of Proto-Slavic *po (“by, at”) + *tisъ (“yew”) (compare Russian тис (tis)). More at Tisza.
